Hampton on HST


The harmonized sales tax is getting close to implementation.

Any item that is purchased before the harmonized sales tax comes into effect, but will be used after July 1st will be subject to the extra tax.

Kenora Rainy River MPP Howard Hampton says its going to surprise a number of people who thought they dodged the tax by buying before the start date.

Hampton says people are so upset about the tax they are pre planning their funerals just to dodge the extra tax.
